JayTee you get all the coolest toys. 😎 Thanks for the info with the new Gens Ace charger and monster battery. Definitely another win for sure. The Kraton seems to love the Hv pack. Thanks again sir! 🤙👊
Use a third battery strap on the long side?! Cut the 2 edges on the front of the tray oder put some foam into it?! When you do a nose landing....or a back landing...
your slipper clutch is slipping pretty much, i'd recommend to slightly tighten it it wont hurt the drivetrain but you will do even more wheelies and your slipper pads will live much longer
Nice stuff JT.. I do prefer my Fly sky charger as it talks to you as you go through the menus and also comes with balance board attachments /extension which makes it real easy to plug the packs in with short balance leads. Love your work mate 👍
Hmmm, I would have figured out some sort of platform to put in the battery tray that raises the battery up flush with that molded piece instead of cutting the chassis. That way the screwed latch piece can be put back in for use. But hey, Theres always more than one way to skin a cat!
Hey, JayTee. Have you tried to fit this battery ((Gens Ace GTech 10000 mah) in the brand new v2.5 4s kraton? I know the motor got moved forward due to the center diff, so I’m really curious if that huge battery will still fit. I realize moss would be needed, but is it even physically possible? How about a video update on this subject?? Thanks man.
Great! Being a new-bee I’d also appreciate your thoughts on any negatives of running such a huge battery-other than possible high temps. I will subscribe so I don’t miss any follow up on this. Thanks again.
Too bad use normal folks cant get the 4s Kraton. Delayed AGAIN according to my LHS. This time they said there is no updated ship/delivery dates. Horizon took all that down. They are guessing Early September maybe. At least they refunded our deposit and just said we will be the first to get them off the truck is they ever arrive. Instead of cutting could you have removed the battery adjustment thing and put thick battery pad under to make up for the lip you cut out? Not too interesting in cutting into a new car.
@@slomango7927 how long does it run for I’m about to get back into r/c always had nitro but that was a lot of years ago now going to go LiPo this time and was wondering is it better to get 2 batteries or one big one how long can u run on the 8000 mah
Whats up bud. That's a huge lipo.. nice charger also.. wonder if it measures IR? I got the venom quad and a dual hi tech... but will look at that gets for travel. Nice compact.. nice vid.. have a good day
😆.. did you not watch the entire video? you see that part of it is molded into the chassis so in order for this to work you have to cut that molded part out.
@@JayTeeRC I don't think I would put a big heavy battery in that particular model. It's meant to be a lightweight option to the 6s line. Interesting video nonetheless.

Just got these Batts man do you recommend full charging to 4.35v a cell or should it be like a normal lipo at 4.2v nice vid as well
Please show us how the 1/8 Kraton does with the New GensAce! I'm curious at the High Voltage power. Thanks man!
What all do you think that will fit? I’d love that in my associated mt8 and infraction mega conversion, or the my Tekno et48.3 maybe….
I would kinda wonder if that battery is not to heavy for that chassis on the Kraton 4s..the chassis not very strong as some other plastic chassies
Hay they’re huge because they are made now from what I have heard that they self discharged after so long in storage.? Not sure if that 100% true?

With the wight of the battery it might get to hot be for u could even run the hole pack.

Nice!
Did the esc need any programming to run LIHV. I bought 2 x 2s zeee 9000 LIHV and they didnt work fans span but no beeps
I have some 4s 9000mah zeee packs and was thinking I could just cut that brace out too. :)
Now I just need the truck to actually ship.
i have the same packs 9000mah 100c good lipos
I got an old hitek that I love and it will do HV, but charge rate max 10a
I am definitely sold on these batteries!
so far they are really good
I definitely want to get these, down the road. That’s especially if I get a 1/5 scale RC.

That would have been my method also.
can you also fit the traxxas 6700 mah lipo
The HV will wreck your esc no?
That Lipo is a BEAST!... Gotta get me one! Thanks for the Vid!

I haven't got my hands-on one yet. let's see what goes on the next week or 2

Been running 2-4s gens ace 10000mah in the kraton 8s exb rtr its a beast. just got a gps will update speed all stock.
Could you please send me I would like to purchase one for my armor karton 4S.
I'm assuming the battery tray in the K8s is bigger than the K4s
yep

I’m curious on the big mah packs . Won’t u hit thermal before u can discharge it leaving u with a partially charged pack after every run?
Late response but I run a 8000mah pack in my granite and it has never thermaled on me
@@slomango7927 there’s a big difference in 8000mah & 10k.
@@314Chevelle well being as most people run 5000 packs in 3s cars the 8000 is quite big difference. It doubled my run times
@@slomango7927 yeah you pretty much repeated what I already said

I need to send the rest of the funds for that new GPS you need? 😂

not sure but charger has several more features I didn't mention in video
@@JayTeeRC yeah I figured it would. Curious to see if it measures IR. I will look into it when I get home from work later
@@stonerrc4626 okay cool let me know. Kind of busy with several things but I'm interested to know your input and thoughts as well
Hi mate I'm wondering if it's going to over heat because of the extra weight and higher voltage??
Have not been able to run a full pack through it. I'm running for about 20 minutes
Hey JT, informative video, thanks.
Gens Ace charger? I'll take it!
Dang that battery!
ikr! but I got it to fit 🤣😆🤣😆

Nice 👍
I don’t think you have to cut the chassis dawg it comes out with a screw..

Don't use balance charge
thats bullshit, only disadvantage is that it takes a little bit longer but your lipos will thank you
Is that stock
yes
